Whether you are an introvert navigating your first mixer or someone tired of the ghosting culture, the fix is simple: stop trying to impress and start trying to be present. I break down the etiquette and mindset that actually work in real life because you deserve a dating experience that feels like you, not a curated performance. Dating doesn't have to be a confusing, energy-draining experience. My philosophy is rooted in one truth: the best connections happen when you stop 'performing' for the imaginary audience in your head and just show up. ### Why Etiquette Matters When I host mixers, I see the same patterns repeatedly. People hide behind their phones, bring up exes too soon, or stress over 'the rules'. My advice is simple. * **Be Present:** Put the phone away. If you are there, be there. * **Clear Intent:** Ghosting is just poor manners. If it is not a fit, say so kindly and move on. * **Keep it Local:** Whether you are in Bengaluru, Delhi, or Mumbai, the dating scene thrives on real-life interactions. Don't wait for the 'perfect app match' to start living your life. ### The 'Poha-Jalebi' Approach Dating is about discovery, not just finding a 'one'. My community is built on shared experiences—from thindi walks to book clubs. We focus on low-pressure environments because, honestly, you are more likely to bond over a plate of hot poha or a good book than a forced conversation at a generic bar. If you find yourself overthinking your attachment style or dreading the next singles event, you are not alone. It is usually just a lack of the right tools. We are all just walking each other home, and a little bit of self-awareness goes a long way. If you want to refine your approach, let's talk about what is holding you back. ## About Radhika Mohta I'm Radhika, and I’m here to stop you from overthinking every text. My philosophy is simple—date with intent, keep it authentic, and ditch the performance. I’ve seen enough disastrous first dates to know what actually works.
